A visit nobody wrote down did not happen.
Room by room on your phone, rated, photographed and dated as you walk. The report is finished when you close the front door, and the tenant had proper notice because the app sent it.
What is property inspection software?
Property inspection software turns a visit into a record. You walk the property with your phone, rate the condition of each room, attach photographs as you go, and the report exists the moment you finish rather than being typed up later, or not at all.
LetCompliance rates each photograph on its own. A damp patch in a bedroom can be marked poor while the same visit records the lounge as good, so a report says what is actually wrong instead of giving the whole property one grade nobody can act on.
It also handles the part landlords most often get wrong, which is telling the tenant. The visit notice goes out from the app before you turn up, and the fact it was sent is recorded, so a visit is not something you have to justify afterwards.
Every inspection stays on the property with its date. A pattern nobody would notice across four separate visits, like a stain that keeps coming back, is visible when the visits sit next to each other. And when a tenancy ends, the inspections are the middle of the story between the check-in and the check-out.
Three things a note on your phone will not do.
A rating per photograph, not per property
Each picture carries its own condition, so one report can say the kitchen is fine and the back bedroom is not. A single grade for a whole house is a number nobody can do anything with; a rated photograph is a job you can book.
The tenant told, and the telling recorded
Notice of the visit is sent from the app before you attend, and the send is kept with the inspection. Arriving without notice is the thing that turns a routine visit into a complaint, and remembering that you texted is not the same as being able to show it.
A history, not a folder of photographs
Visits stack up against the property with their dates. Recurring damp, a repair that did not hold, a garden that has been let go since June: all of it is obvious in sequence and invisible as loose pictures in a camera roll.
A visit, start to finish
- 01
Send the notice from the app
Pick the date and the tenant is told, in writing, before you attend. The send is recorded against the inspection.
- 02
Walk the property with your phone
Room by room, photographing what you see. Each photograph takes its own condition rating as you add it.
- 03
Add the notes that will not be obvious later
"Tenant says the boiler is noisy in the mornings" is the line that explains a repair three months on.
- 04
The report exists when you leave
Nothing to type up. It sits on the property with its date, ready to send, and any repair it turned up can be logged straight from it.
An inspection is one point in a tenancy you already run here.
It is worth far more sitting between a check-in and a check-out than it is on its own.

Questions, answered
- Do I have to do the inspection myself?
- No, but almost everyone does, and the software is built for that. If you would rather not attend, we also offer a visit where somebody goes for you and the report lands in your account the same way. The software is free on every plan; the visit is a separate one-off.
- Does it work without signal?
- Yes. Basements, empty properties and rural lets are exactly where a connection fails, so the walk does not depend on one. What you record uploads when you are back in range.
- How often should I inspect?
- Most landlords settle on every six months, some quarterly on an HMO. The point of recording them is less about the interval than the sequence: two visits six months apart tell you something a single visit never can.
- Does the tenant get told before I visit?
- Yes. The notice is sent from the app before the visit and the send is recorded with the inspection, so there is a document rather than a recollection of a text message.
- Can I turn a finding into a repair?
- Yes. A problem spotted on a walk becomes a maintenance record on the same property, and the photograph you already took becomes the before picture for that repair.
- What does it cost?
- Free forever for one property, with paid plans from £14.99 a month and a 14-day full trial. Inspections are included on every plan.
UK-built · Founder-led · GOV.UK-cited
Built by a landlord, for landlords.
I let property myself, and I was tired of juggling an agent, a spreadsheet and a handful of reminder apps just to stay on the right side of the law. So we built the one login I actually wanted: advertise the property, take applications, collect the rent, and keep every certificate and notice in order, each taken straight from GOV.UK.
Walk it once and you have the record for the rest of the tenancy.
Ten minutes on a phone, and the report is finished before you get back to the car. Free forever for one property.
